The only species that fits this description is Xanthosoma robustum, that
is, in my opinion, a synonim of Xanthosoma roseum. It ranges from Mexico to
Guatemala and probably even more to the south. It is widely available in
Florida as Xanthosoma sagittifolium ("malanga-blanca")!!!! In fact, I wasn?t
able to find a real Xanthosoma sagittifolium growing in Florida!!!

Speaking of bigger plants (other than Anthurium) someone sent a photo for
ID of a
Zanthosoma labled 'roseum' with a man standing under the petiols and the
leaves
were HUGE and were up three times his height. I would be interested in
knowing
if that particular plant was ever ID'd and what was it and is it available
anywhere?.....but that's not to say that I don't desire seeds from
Anthurium
regale! Beautiful!
